The multinational company is looking to China for a reorientation of Asia-Pacific operations.

Listing on the Hong Kong market would move the emphasis away from Amsterdam for the Dutch based group. But with the Chinese capital market opening up to foreign companies, Philips confirmed that they are “closely following the development in the region” and cited China as central to the company’s growth strategy.

The strategy last year saw Philips acquire China based ultrasoundequipment maker Shanghai Apex and NCW Holdings, a Hong Kong based light maker. Although hailing from the Netherlands, Philips’ global headquarters for its domestic appliance business have also been relocated to Shanghai.

Philips’ emerging markets sales grew 12% in 2010 compared to 1% in Europe and North America, according to its latest results announcement. Emerging market sales grew to 33% of total Philips sales in 2010, up from 30% a year earlier. It plans to raise that to 40% by 2015.
